    So i've enabled the USB share option on my router (see the screen shot) and connected an external hard drive. The Host name says Gateway but how can i access the share via smb or http?

    Was trying to do the same earlier with no joy, one forum says eircom have disabled this feature, hopefully someone comes along with a workaround.

    Once i managed to get FTP access it was only a case of some fiddling to get it to work

    What are you trying to access it from?
